Amaya Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Labrador Retriever Mix Boulder, CO

Amaya not unlike thousands of other dogs was found living on the streets, but was found and brought into the shelter. After seeing how loving, affectionate, and playful Amaya is we knew we had to get her here as fast as we could and into a forever home. She's believed to be about 1.5 years old, and a Heeler/Lab mix. Amaya is about 60lbs of pure love and joy. She enjoys playing with dogs! We love her so much and can't wait to see her go into a wonderful home.

We don't know anything about Amaya's background, as we rescued her from a high-kill shelter in Texas, and she ended up there because she was found as a stray. Amaya does not have a single aggressive bone in her body - she is a serious angel. Despite whatever may have happened to her, she still loves all people. I cannot say enough, that Amaya is the single most loving and playful dog that we have ever met! Just take a look at her video and you'll see.

As a part of the adoption fee Farfel's will give you a goodie box that consist of a harness, food for the first week, a bag of training treats, dental chews, poop bags, CBD treats, and Love Has No Age Limit book, that has many great tips on adopting a rescue, and many handouts to help you with your new pup! The adoption fee also helps us rescue dogs that have illnesses such as heartworm and get them back to full health to be adopted.

With any rescue, moving from a shelter to a foster or to an adoptive home can be very confusing. When an adopting family is sensitive to the challenges of change and acclimation for these dog's, the transition is far easier. A home with a very loving and nurturing family that understands that blossoming takes time would be perfect home for Amaya. Socialization, pure love and belly rubs is a gift to a dog that is undergoing a life change. Given the time and space, these dogs shine.

Farfel's Rescue has found over time (we've rescued more than 3,000 dogs over 15 years of rescue) that families that attend level 1 group training classes or address individual challenges at home with one of our approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers keep their dogs for life. Dogs that do not get proper training and socialization have a much higher risk of developing behavioral problems. There is a bonding that occurs through the training process that can't be duplicated. It also teaches behaviors that enable a dog to go out into the world with excellent manners that create a very respectful relationship between dogs and their humans. It is for all these reasons that Farfel's isn't willing to adopt to a family that doesn't choose to create this training relationship. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/ force-free trainers in your area.

Amaya is up to date on her shots, and has been spayed.

Amaya is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder, Rescueme and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving puppy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
